I've been on The Geek for awhile so I don't think there is a way to do what I want, but I hope I'm wrong. I'd like to be able to see a list of all games sorted by BGG Rank and/or release date that I could then winnow down to only see the games I haven't marked as something I'm still interested in or something I could ignore. There are plenty of ways to indicate you are interested or like a game, but I haven't found a way to see a list of the games that slipped under my radar.

Does such a thing exist on the site? Maybe someone has done some script-fu with the database to allow this off-site?

I'm not aware of a perfect way to do this, ultimately you do have to browse a list and ignore the games with an owned/negative label.

Wishlist variable 5 is "don't buy this". I've gone through the top 1000 games and wishlisted them based upon my preference (hence why I have 700 games wish listed). For browsing purposes I can just scroll through the top ranked games and any without a status are new and need to be considered.

There's a wishlist setting for "don't buy", but to me that seems to be to remind yourself of titles you've already researched & rejected, and it's not a search filter as far as I know.

Most of the games I get are old so I hear about them from random posts or auction threads, or mentions on threads for other topics. For newer games the ads or the "announcing..." forums. So not much active searching.

* Post in the Recommendations forum, describe what kind of game you want, and ask that no one recommend a game already owned or in your collection. I think most people will check your collection before posting.
